It’s that time of the year again
and The Annual Suki Awards is back for it’s 2nd Edition. The Suki
Awards is a small effort from my side to reflect on all the Tamil films that I
watched in that year and come up with my own nominations for each category and its
winner.
Last year’s edition saw only 5
categories in with which are as of below
Best Song- Won by “Thali
Pogathey”
Best Supporting Actor- Won by
Vijay Sethupathi for “Iravi”
Best Actress- Won by Rithika
Singh for “Iruthu Sutru”
Best Film- Won by “Visarnai”
Best Actor- Won by Athakathi
Dinesh for “Visarnai”
In the 2nd Edition, we
decided to push up a gear higher and double the number of categories to 10.
This year’s Suki Awards will see the following categories
Best Supporting Actress
Best Supporting Actor
Best Song
Best Music Director
Best Villain
Best Screenplay
Best Director
Best Actress
Best Movie
Best Actor
The nominations and winners here
are done purely based on Tamil Films which I HAVE WATCHED ONLY. There if it is
a film I am yet to watch, the movie, cast and crew will not be considered for
the nomination and awards.
Here is a list of films which I
have watched in 2017.
Now let’s kick start the event
today with the very first category, The Best Supporting Actress. And the
nominees are:
Andrea Jeremiah as “Pritha” In
Thuparivaalan
Anjali Varadhan as “Emily” In Aruvi
Madonna Sebastian as Young “Poonthendral”
In Pa Pandi
Nithiyaa Menon as “Aishwarya Vetrimaaran”
In Mersal
Varalaxmi Sarathkumar as “Chandra”
In Vikram Vedha
And the winner is Nithiyaa Menon
for her bold portal in “Mersal”. Nithiyaa Menon took on the role with full of
grace and dominance playing it to a near perfect execution. Without a doubt she
is a deserving winner and we hope to see more films from her in a capacity as a
lead heroine in 2018.
Moving to next award, it is for
The Best Supporting Actor. This was indeed a very tough category for me to pick
my 5 nominees and a couple of actors who did give excellence performances had
to be omitted out as there is only 5 nominees
The nominees for The Best
Supporting Actor are:
Azhagam Ravi as “Barnabas” In
Taramani
Bharathiraja as “Sundaram” In Kurangu
Boomai
Bose Venkat as “Sathya” in
Theeran Adhigaram Ondru
M.S.Bhaskar as “Krishnamurthy” In
8 Thottakal
Ramdoss as “Winnings” In Maanagaram
At the start of the year I was
very confident that Ramdoss will take the award for his portrayal as “Winnings”
in Maanagaram, but then M.S Bhaskar performance in 8 Thottakal just blew me
away and he is the winner of The Best Supporting Actor in the 2017 Suki Awards.
I urge you strongly to check out
the scene whereby M.S.Bhaskar sits in the cafeteria and narrates a story to
hero in this film. It was indeed top-class performance.
It is time for some music and now
we have the award for The Best Song award. 2017 was a great musical year and we
were blessed with too many amazing songs. It was almost impossible to pick just
5 songs as the nominees. I had to hear back all the songs a countless number of
times and here are the nominees of The Suki Awards Best Song:
Aalaporaan Thamizhan from Mersal
Iraiva from Velaikkaran
Vaan from Kaatru Veliyidai
Venpani Malare from Pa Pandi
Yaanji from Vikram Vedha
And the winner is Aalapooraan
Thamizhan. This is a song which never fails to give me the goosebumps every
time I hear it. There is something magical about this song which words can’t
describe.
Moving on now is time for The
Best Music Director Award. The Best Song Award is given for the judgement of
one song only while The Best Music Director Award is to be judge upon the
completeness of the overall album and the BGM of the film.
The nominees are:
M.M. Keeravani for Baahubali 2
A R Rahman for Kaatru Veliyidai
A R Rahman for Mersal
Sean Roldan for Pa Pandi
Sam CS for Vikram Vedha
Once again, this was indeed a
tough decision to make. Every music director gave something very special and
memorable in these films but there can only be 1 winner. The 2017 Suki Awards
for The Best Music Director foes to…… A. R Rahman for Kaatru Veliyidai.
With that we are done with the
music elements of the awards and now we have a category which I am most excited
about. It is The Best Villain Award. 2017 has seen a great number of powerful
villains come forward and it is good to see actors embracing these roles. I’m a
firm believer that the more powerful the villain is, the more it makes the hero
to stand out.
In the spirit of that here are
the nomination for The Best Villain Award
Abimanyu Singh as “Oma” In
Theeran Adhigaram Ondru
Elango Kumaravel as “Shekar” In Kurangu
Boomai
Rana Daggubati as “Bhallaladeva”
In Baahubali 2
SJ Surya as “Sudalai” In Spyder
Vinay as “Devil” In Thuparivaalan
The winner for The Best Villain
Award goes to SJ Surya for his performance in Spyder. This is a category that
had so many actors providing strong performances, but it was hard to pick a
winner in it as what SJ Surya showed in Spyder was something very special and a
class of its own.
Moving on next is to The Best
Screenplay Award and the nominees are
Aruvi
Kurangu Boomai
Maanagaram
Theeran Adhigaram Ondru
Vikram Vedha
I believe all these 5 films had
amazing screenplay written in it. Many moments in the film did “wow” me and
after much consideration the winner for The Best Screenplay is Maanagaram.
With screenplay comes direction
and here is the nomination for The Best Director Award:
Arun Prabhu Purushotaman for
Aruvi
H Vinoth for Theeran Adhigaram
Ondru
Lokesh Kanagaraj for Maanagaram
Pushkar-Gayathiri for Vikram
Vedha
SS Rajamouli for Baahubali
The winner of the 2017 Suki
Awards for Best Director goes to SS Rajamouli for Baahubali 2. When the film
was released I mention that this film was out world class film making technique
and I stand by it. The effort put in to create a whole new world is a step in the
right direction for Indian Cinema. Congratulations SS Rajamouli, I hope
Baahubali 2 will be a stepping stone for more film makers to go down the path
you laid upon
Now moving the main event of the
award show. It is time for The Best Actress Award. 2017 has been a fantastic
year as more films are being designed in a manner where the heroine has a vital
scope to play in the film and have a say in the story. Now here is the
nomination for The Best Actress Award.
Aditi Balan as “Aruvi” In Aruvi
Aditi Rao as “Dr Leela Abraham”
In Kaatru Veliyidai
Andrea Jeremiah as “Althea
Johnson” In Taramani
Madonna Sebastian as “Malar” In
Kavan
Rakul Preet Singh as “Priya
Theeran” In Theeran Adhigaram Ondru
It was a 3-way horse fight for me
in this category between Aditi Balan, Aditi Rao and Andrea Jeremiah. The
performance of these 3 actresses should be highly praised as they played 3
different characters in a manner you can’t think of someone else to replace
them.
However, the one actress that
seemed to have a little extra in her compared the rest for me personally was
Aditi Balan and she is the winner of 2017 Suki Awards Best Actress. In what was
a very close fight among the three of them, Aditi Balan had a slight edge on
the other two as her character in the film was an AIDS patient and she went all
out to score on that. Well done Aditi Balan, you are a very much welcomed
addition to the film industry.
Now it’s time for the Best Film
Award in the 2nd Annual Suki Awards. The quality of films this year
has been excellent and here are my top 5 nominations:
Aruvi
Kurangu Boomai
Maanagaram
Theeran Adhigaram Ondru
Vikram Vedha
It is an impossible task to pick
a winner from this 5 quality films. Each film was so well crafted, it is indeed
difficult to pick a flaw from any of it. However, we need to come down to one
winner and the winner is Aruvi. Aruvi was a film which is best describe as an
emotional roller-coaster. It makes you feel all kind of different feelings in a
span of a film length and thus it edges ahead to win the award.
And now the moment we have been
waiting for. The final award of the night. Who would bag The Best Actor Award
in the 2017 Suki Awards. The nominees are:
Jayam Ravi as “Jara” In Vanamagan
Karthi as “Theeran Thirumaran DSP” In Theeran Adhigaram Ondru
Raj Kiran as “Power Pandi” In Pa
Pandi
Vasanth Ravi as “Prabunath” In
Taramani
Vijay Sethupathi as “Vedha” In Vikram Vedha.
5 actors playing 5 different
characters in 5 films which were unique in their own way. It wasn’t easy to
compare one actor’s performance to the other. The 5 of them were truly amazing
in the films they acted. And here it is, the winner of the final award as The
Best Actor in The Suki Award goes to Vijay Sethupathi for his brilliant
performance in Vikram Vedha.
In the 2016 Suki Awards, Vijay
Sethupathi bagged the Best Supporting Actor for his role in Iravi. A year later
he claims the Best Actor Award today. Vijay Sethupathi is an actor who has had
an amazing rise and there are no doubts about his qualities.
Congratulations to all the winners of The 2017 Suki Awards. It is my great pleasure to do this and see you guys back again in The 2018 Suki Awards next year.
